I know many will say the drug laws, prostitution, and I see your point, but those laws only affect me indirectly.

My vote would be for removal of speed limits on the interstate highways.

All the above so far. Seat Belt laws,mandatory insurance. I am sure I will think of some more. Did you know New Hampshire doesn't require car insurance yet 86% of residents of New Hampshire do have car insurance. Personally I don't want to have to carry drivers license or social security cards its just a way of the state keeping track of its subjects.

I would agree with all of that; however, I do see a need to carry driver's license. It certainly is helpful for the police know who they are dealing with, and if we are going to eliminate speed limits I would like for the people to be able to prove that they have some driving ability, although most driving tests are jokes.

Did you know that those Interstate Highways are only designed for max speeds of 80 - 85 (some a little more)

I live in NH and have car insurance because I made the choice to.

Prostitution laws are ridiculous. It is nobody's business if you want to sell your body for money. How is porn legal? Aren't you selling your body to make a buck? Or millions?

There are no seat belt laws for 18 and over in NH either but I do wear it because I think it is safe and do it out of habit.

I think drugs need to be regulated by the states and taxed if needed. But don't think drug users should be thrown in jail. (I despise drugs, alcohol and cigaretts)

Speed limits are stupid; people speed regardless. I know I used to - I drive the speed limit to save gas now. I don't think highways should have a speed limit.

I doubt the insurance industry would like that, If anything they would like to impose lower speed limits so states could report offenders to the insurance companys than raise the rates.

I did not know that. All interstate highways are just the ones in Arizona? How is a highway designed differently for 80 miles per hour than lets say a 110? I have gone quite fast on interstate highways and my car did not blow up nor did the interstate crumble beneath my tires.
